I became a surgeon because I always wanted to be a physician.

I had a great deal of orthopaedic experience growing up. I spent more time in the orthopaedist’s office than the pediatrician’s.

I became an orthopaedic surgeon because there isn’t any other way I could enjoy my life more than working with kids and their parents to help them overcome the orthopaedic conditions they face.

My parents instilled in me a foundational love of science and biology. So even as a youngster, I was set on a having a career in medicine.

I became an orthopaedic surgeon because I was fascinated by the ability to use my hands and help people.

I became an orthopaedic surgeon because of the compassionate care that I received at the hands of my orthopaedic surgeon when I was 10 years old.
